Can I vacuum form while adhering?

Can I set up a vacuum form where I am purposely adhering the material to the buck (original)? If so, is there a class that covers this? I am trying to layer an armor piece where the original buck is only a minimum of framing but that will have smooth curves when complete. It needs to stay shaped to the frame afterward. Because I do not want it to be hollow nor overly fragile, I was hoping to layer thinner eva vacuum formed layers to reach the final smooth curvature.
The neck piece of the Gurney Halleck, Dune 2 armor is the end goal.
And yes, I can see that this is not the preferred method as sculpting a full original and then casting and foam molding the entire piece in one go would be the proper technique.
I am shooting for minimal, one piece, work. I have the size and shape of the rigid underneath frame and would like to layer the top sheets to get the final full foam curves.
Is it possible to spray on the adhesive to the buck and then pull a successful vacuum on the next layer without it bunching and sticking oddly?
